The heralded UNC basketball guard left Arizona with another addition to his trophy case.
At Damian Lillard's Formula Zero Elite Camp in Phoenix, Ariz., this past week, UNC basketball newcomer Ian Jackson was the only Tar Heel among the 20 college counselors on hand alongside 20 top high school players. But there's no doubt the five-star McDonald's All-American guard, a potential one-and-done first round draft pick, made his presence known at the three-day event.
The 19-year-old Jackson received the award from Lillard, an eight-time NBA All-Star guard, alongside the prep collection's MIP in Westchester Senior forward Tajh Ariza, who is a five-star in the 2026 cycle and the son of former NBA journeyman forward Trevor Ariza.
Unreal athleticism and feel for the game—monster in driving lanes 🚂 PEST on defense, always wants the toughest assignment 🔥Jackson and the 2024-25 Tar Heels, the fourth team under Hubert Davis' command, begin their season on Nov. 4 when Elon comes to the Dean E. Smith Center.
